Bai Wuji let out a sigh of relief when he heard the Song family head's gritted teeth, thinking that if they didn't vent their anger on him immediately, they probably wouldn't do anything to him.
The people around him were all filled with immense rage.
Their gazes were all fixed on Bai Wuji.
Bai Wuji's hair stood on end. At this moment, he remembered what Lin Xiaotian had told him and quickly said, "Before I came, I heard some news. Lin Xiaotian needs to go to a warehouse in the suburbs tonight to receive antique goods."
"He doesn't take us seriously at all. He just thinks the Song family is a small family living in seclusion."
"This guy is extremely arrogant. He's probably already gone to the warehouse outside the city. I can lead all the experts of the Song family there. Perhaps we can even set up an ambush in advance. Even if Lin Xiaotian is powerful, he'll only be forced to retreat when facing the Song family's experts."
Upon hearing this, the killing intent in the Song family head's eyes slowly disappeared, and a hint of coldness appeared in his gaze.
"Very good, you've done well. Your life is saved for now; at least I'm not thinking of killing you immediately. If you can lead us to Lin Xiaotian today and capture him directly, you'll have a chance to redeem yourself."
"There's also one thing. I heard that Lin Xiaotian has created a jade pendant that can allow a person to resist a fatal attack."
"Is this true?"
Song Hui had reported this to him earlier, but he had always found it somewhat unbelievable.
He had heard of such things before, but they had been lost for at least hundreds of years. Their family's ancient texts had some records of them, describing them as protective treasures.
However, these protective treasures were divided into ranks. Even the lowest-grade ones could give them a slim chance of survival in this era of modern firearms.
What they feared most wasn't a specific fighter targeting them; it was someone ambushing them from behind. A simple pull of the trigger could end their lives.
This was why they were so wary of the Special Operations Department.
Bai Wuji was stunned. He did know about this matter, and he had even received an invitation when he went to the jewelry store.
However, when he saw Lin Xiaotian there, he didn't dare to make a move because he knew very well that wherever Lin Xiaotian appeared, it was likely a trap.
After a slight hesitation, he nodded heavily. "I was present at the jewelry store auction, and I was the one who informed Master Song about the news."
"I have a video here. You can watch it. Lin Xiaotian has indeed created something so mysterious and unpredictable."
"This is a priceless treasure for us ordinary people, and having this item will make the Song family very wary, because with it, it's difficult to directly harm them."
"Therefore, I suggest that we set up an ambush in advance tonight. We cannot hesitate for too long, otherwise, if Lin Xiaotian reaches the warehouse first, our ambush will be in vain."
He was eager for these people to go to the warehouse quickly. Once they were dealt with, Lin Xiaotian would no longer trouble him. Lin Xiaotian always kept his word, and he believed that after he performed well, Lin Xiaotian would give him a chance.
As long as he could get rid of the insects on him, he would never return.
When the Song family head and the others saw Ye Wantong demonstrate the jade pendant's ability, their eyes lit up.
"Good, you're right. We must be well-prepared tonight and absolutely cannot let Lin Xiaotian be on guard, otherwise, it will not be easy for us to capture Lin Xiaotian."
"Tonight, I will bring all of the Song family's elites. You all go and prepare yourselves and await my command."
Watching the Song family members return to prepare, Bai Wuji's worried heart finally settled.
He secretly sent out an edited text message from his pocket.
At this moment, Lin Xiaotian also received the message, and a cold killing intent appeared in his eyes.
"As expected, these Song family members value wealth over their lives."
"They only thought of the precious item I created, but didn't consider if they had the strength to take it."
"However, I'm very curious now, how did these Song family members survive until now? Haven't the people from the Special Operations Department tried to deal with them?"
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and directly called Li Chengfeng.
The call was soon connected.
"Old Li, I need to ask you something."
"Just ask whatever you need. As long as I know, I'll definitely tell you, Young Master," Li's voice came from the phone, sounding very serious.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "I remember your Special Operations Department once had a rule that anyone who plays with insects and commits evil deeds would implicate their sect."
"Even their families would be held accountable. They would not be easily let go. Is that right?"
Li's voice carried a hint of surprise. "There is indeed such a rule. Young Master, why are you interested in these matters?"
"It's not that I'm interested, it's because someone has provoked me, and they are all trash who play with insects. They seem to be surnamed Song, and tonight they are planning to make a collective move."
"After all, I gave them a big gift earlier, crippled one of their family members, and sent him back to them."
"If I eliminate them all tonight, will it cause any trouble for you? Will it make things difficult for you?"
Li was silent for a few seconds, and then his voice came out, filled with extreme surprise. "Those cowardly Song family members are actually going to make a move against you, Young Master? When did they become so brave?"
"I've caught them red-handed many times before, but each time they managed to escape. Those guys are ruthless and leave no loose ends."
"I've tried multiple times to get evidence to deal with them, but in the end, they always slipped away. After all, I need to have solid evidence before I can act, and the Song family is not a small clan."
"This is why we haven't been able to capture them until now, and they've become even more careful in their actions."
"If they dare to attack you tonight, you don't need to lift a finger. I will personally have their entire Song family wiped out."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian's face broke into a brilliant smile. "Since they are so brave, I'll give them a chance to make a move. I'll contact you then."
